José Mourinho should have hung around after his media conference in Dortmund
on Wednesday night. He would have seen a young, sharp, joyfully charismatic
manager working the press with charm and quick wit. He would have seen the
Next Big Thing, just like he used to be.

Of course, it is easy to be jaunty and jokey when your team have just hammered
Real Madrid 4-1 in a Champions League semi-final first leg, as Borussia
Dortmund did so audaciously to set Jürgen Klopp on a Mourinho-esque war
dance on the touchline.
